How to
3.14.3 Software upload via USB
1. Prepare data on USB stick
• Save the new software upload package (xxx.deb) on a USB stick. Place the file in the
root and not in a folder.
2. Software upload
• Place the USB stick in a USB port of the display unit (at the back of the display unit)
or in the USB port of the control panel (verify that the USB cable and the 12Vdc
cable between the control panel and the display unit are properly connected).
• The display unit will search for the latest software upload file. The following warning
window appears on the screen
• The display unit will automatically start the software upload after
10 seconds
unless the display unit is powered off or the USB stick is removed. When the display
unit is busy with the upload of the new software, the following warning is shown on
the screen:
• When software update has started (“Software update busy”) the USB stick can be
removed (all data is already transferred).
• The display unit automatically reboots after finishing the software upload.
IMPORTANT
:
If the upload of the new software would fail or would be interrupted, the display unit will reboot into
the failsafe mode. The software version of the failsafe mode is the most recent software version that
was uploaded successfully.
NOTE
:
It is advisable to remove the USB stick after software update since the display unit will automatically
recognize the firmware on the USB stick at each power up or activation from hard standby. The display
unit will then start the automated firmware update process. This does not happen after the reboot
resulting from the software update!
